Opinions about Meg and Russell’s relationship differed from person to person, but someone who definitely didn’t approve of it was their former director. Taylor Hackford, who was responsible for Proof of Life, actually blamed the pair for the film’s poor performance at the box office.
He believed that the real life drama had a “destructive effect” on the movie’s popularity, stating that it overpowered what they’d worked on. Unsurprisingly, Crowe wasn’t too happy when he heard this, referring to the director as an “idiot.” They haven’t worked together since then.
